Creative Director of Assassin’s Creed – Terminated by Ubisoft

Sounds kind of sketchy…

Patrice Desilets the creator and game designer behind Assassin’s Creed has made a statement to Polygon earlier today that he has been fired by Ubisoft.

Here is what he had to say regarding his termination at Ubisoft:

“Contrary to any statements made earlier today, this morning I was terminated by Ubisoft,” Desilets told Polygon. “I was notified of this termination in person, handed a termination notice and was unceremoniously escorted out of the building by two guards without being able to say goodbye to my team or collect my personal belongings.

“This was not my decision.”

“Ubisoft’s actions are baseless and without merit. I intend to fight Ubisoft vigorously for my rights, for my team and for my game.”

Ubisoft has stated that the company and Desilets parted ways after “good faith discussions.”
